Of course, my problem is just that he isn’t being transparent, and is dishonest. If he actually made the code open source, and did not get himself into controversy all time i wouldn’t mind him being a solo dev :)
A few days ago he posted (then I think deleted) this, which among other things makes me extremely inclined to not believe anything he says:
In March 2019 I teased the Pixelfed mobile app.
The only problem was, I didn’t know how to write one.
So just like the original “federated instagram” post, I faked a commercial to build hype.
It was coming along well.
Then in mid 2020, I came out and put the app aside. It wasn’t until late 2022 that I found a Pixelfed react native app, and cloned it and tinkered.
In 2023 I released the first Pixelfed app, but it was slow. I rewrote it from scratch in May 2024.
From faking, to making!
